I'VE GOT GAUGES!!!!

[Scollins]

My birthday is this coming Thursday, and my wife got me one of the best gifts I have ever received: The gauges I wanted!

I got the Isspro EGT and Boost Gauge, and the Autometer 2 gauge pod to put them in. I guess she couldn't wait until Thursday to give them to me, so I got them on Monday! Have I mentioned how cool my wife is? #ad


Well, I couldn't wait for the next NW BOMB session, so I decided to install my goodies tonight. I'm worse than a kid at Christmas! At the last BOMB session, we drilled and tapped (I should say MikeR drilled and tapped, I watched!) my exhaust manifold for the EGT probe. I used an existing port on the intake manifold for the boost.

All went fairly well. I got everything hooked up and working in about 3 hours. I know, not the fastest time. Then, for a test drive!

I can hit about 20 psi of boost when I mash the accelerator. Also, going uphill at WOT, I can reach 1000 degrees pretty quickly. I think the EGT's would be higher, except I'm running a straight pipe. Cool stuff! Now, the REAL BOMBING begins... ... . I've got a 50 psi boost gauge, I better use it! #ad

the one thing I have learned in 21 yrs of great marrage is support each other in all you do.
I had been buggin my wife since 94 for a dodge cummer and finnaly out at work they made her drive the new cummer to the post office and when she came home she told me to go get it now, so that said ,what more can a guy want,life is good #ad

Boy,you are just about as impatient as Rob Hanson! Hehe. Glad to see you had no problems getting them in. 3-hrs is good.

If you're this exited about getting BOMBed,wait until you go to Dyno Days... we'll have to keep you chained down. #ad
